Today marks 2 months of you leaving this earth. Know more pain and hospital visits. But yet, you are missed.
In 2 days it will mark two months that you transition from earth to be with God. I miss you and I love you daddy. I will be planting a tree in the yard and name it Willie. I work to much to get a cat. I don't know what tree it will be but I do know it will be a fruit tree. Get you rest!
